If my experience is any indication, they don’t get a veil until they can prove their proficiency with the paddle and accurate eraser-throwing

Skills such as these would be most welcome at the editorial offices of The Rambler about now, say I!

Amen - and with one of those paddles with the holes, so as to cut down on air resistance when swinging

The reforms implemented in 2002 to address these situations have inconvenienced the majority of Catholics who have never experienced such behavior in their parishes. To work in any capacity in a parish or school requires untold checks and oversight so it appears that the problems have been eliminated. Once again those who did not participate or condone these activities paid the highest price for the reformation. New incidents which reportedly are rare are being reported to the civil authorities.

Thus the Church has been proactive and the latest accusations date back to the 1960’s, 70’s, 80's. In the most recent stories journalists are referring to who did what, when, with many of the perpetrators long since dead or else who sent what letter when or what office had oversight responsibility. Perhaps the Church should have a "Hate the Church Day" in Congress like Goldman Sacks and allow all the Catholic bashers to have their day in the sun. Since the 2002 reformation appears to be efficacious these recent newspaper articles do not resonate or cause alarm with the Catholic faithful but only with the uninformed.

And they need to know these facts too!

The most probable pedophiles in order are:

Fathers
Teachers
Coaches
Protestant ministers

Priests are way down on the list.

So if a father is a teacher of mid-high history, coaches the girl’s basketball team and is a youth minister at his church on weekends/Sundays — watch out! He would be much more prone to pedophilia that any priest.

fatboy,

You’re completely out of touch with reality.

The “present situation” the Church finds herself in is already all-but-over. It has nothing to do with 1517 and can’t be compared to it.

Also, all of this is causing an INCREASE in vocations, not a decrease.
